Moby/YMMV
< Moby
- Crowning Music of Awesome: Just listen to "Machete" off of Play. Nuff said.
- Crowning Moment of Awesome: When he found out his album hit gold, it literally shocked him into excitement.
- Ear Worm: "South Side," "Natural Blues" and "Dream About Me."
- Fanon Discontinuity: Depending on who you talk to, Hotel may or may not exist, and if it does usually it's just one of the two discs that exist. Every single Moby fan, tends to agree that Animal Rights never happened, though.
- Although, Moby had this to say on Animal Rights' reception: "I got one piece of fan mail from Terence Trent D'Arby and I got a phone call from Axl Rose saying he was listening to Animal Rights on repeat. Bono told me he loved Animal Rights. So if you're gonna have three pieces of fan mail, that's the fan mail to get." Suffice to say, some people love that album.
- I Am Not Shazam: Some people mistaken him with Michael Stipe from REM and vice versa.
- It's the Same, Now It Sucks: Critical reaction to 18.
- Most Wonderful Sound: Moby's duet with Gwen Stefani on "South Side." Especially the chorus; let's just say Gwen was a great choice.
- Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Play did exactly that for Moby.
- Sampled Up: Do you like Alan Lomax blues recordings? You're in luck. He samples the hell out of these.
- He can also sample just about anything and make it sound awesome.
- One "sample" isn't even a sample at all, but is instead a full remix. In 1937, a singer named Vera Hall[1] recorded a song called "Trouble so Hard", which Moby remixed and retitled "Natural Blues" for his aforementioned Play album.
- Tear Jerker: Strangely his songs where he sang less tend to put more people to tears than the ones where he sings throughout.
- Tough Act to Follow: Play is definitely this.
- True Art Is Angsty: Attempted on Animal Rights' Needless to say, Moby is not that guy.
